I don't think there is any possibility of an official Mandrake "franchise", but nothing stops us from allowing urpmi access. urpmi works by default with any Mandrake Linux mirror. Linux thin-client via VNC for RoadRunner customers is a possibility, but we would need much beefier hardware for the server and permission from Oceanic. This could have interesting educational and research value. Doug does this sound like a possibility? VNC is surprisingly low bandwidth, and it shouldn't matter for RoadRunner people anyway right?
